Stop and think to fight fraud!

We recognise it’s our responsibility to safeguard the personal and financial information we hold on our customers.

the Take Five to Stop Fraud campaign to combat fraud, led by Financial Fraud Action UK, the UK Government and the banking industry, and

UK Finance who have produced an information leaflet on financial abuse awareness – please click here to view a copy of this leaflet.

To avoid becoming a victim of fraud yourself, there are three key points to remember:

Only give out your personal or financial details to services and people you trust and are expecting to be contacted by. A genuine bank, building society or other organisation will never contact you without notice to ask for your PIN or password, or to ask you to move money to another account.

Never automatically click on a link or download a file from an unexpected email or text. This is a common method used by fraudsters to install ‘snooping’ software on people’s computers, or to trick people into revealing their personal or financial details.

Always be suspicious of uninvited approaches. If someone telephones you out of the blue and asks about your financial details, politely hang up and check with the organisation directly yourself, using a known email or phone number. If the call was genuine, they’ll be pleased you contacted them.

My experience with Leek United over the past 5 years has been a pleasant contrast to other financial organisations I have dealt with. It has been a pleasure to deal with real people who seem to enjoy and take a pride in their jobs.
